Now within a single deployment, multiple secret store plugin backends can
be configured and used. With this change, a project administrator can
pre-define a preferred plugin backend for storing their secrets. New APIs
are added to manage this project level secret store preference.
features:
- New feature to support multiple secret store plugin backends. This feature
is not enabled by default. To use this feature, the relevant feature flag
needs to be enabled and supporting configuration needs to be added in the
service configuration. Once enabled, a project adminstrator will be able
to specify one of the available secret store backends as a preferred
secret store for their project secrets. This secret store preference
applies only to new secrets (key material) created or stored within that
project. Existing secrets are not impacted. See http://docs.openstack.org/developer/barbican/setup/plugin_backends.html
for instructions on how to setup Barbican multiple backends, and the API
documentation for further details.
